Gas Storage Pipelines


CONSULTING

Based on project and business experience gained in all sectors and across the globe, we have honed our own, fully-accredited

management systems. We now make those services available to clients either within an engineering project team or as an business

counsel service.

Project Review and PlanningFor any project review our activities are driven around

the project premise, with reviews driven by Energy and

Power Project Guidelines, using standard tools and

methodologies, it means that all projects are reviewed

against the same benchmark. Such planning is

fundamental to a realistic business case that considers all

costs, functional requirements and eventual

decommissioning and reinstatement.

Project Risk ManagementRisk assessment – technical, commercial and contractual

– will be carried out by the Energy and Power team based

upon the information and guidance being provided by the

client. The clear identification of risk will be a most

important aspect in the management and control of the

project, and Energy and Power will provide clear,

unambiguous reporting on all areas of cost and risk via

continually updated Risk Registers for each of the distinct

areas identified.

Due Diligence and Mergers & AcquisitionsOur Due Diligence teams provide the guidance for the

key questions of:

How much? How long? What risks exist? What mitigation measures exist?

Augmenting our core engineering design services, we

have a burgeoning experience of due diligence studies,

working on behalf of prospective purchasers of

infrastructure, assets and prospects, and as an Technical

Authority providing third-party project audit, design

verification and project reviews.


CONSULTING

Engineering VerificationEnergy and Power has a wealth of experience in facility

and process design in the offshore oil and gas industry.

Our team members possess extensive relevant technical

and management experience within this sector. In

particular our staff development systems develop team

members experience in managing facilities through the

complete project lifecycle.

An Engineering verification team will focus on key aspects

that deliver the project objectives. Where existing facilities

are in the operation phase we are able to provide guidance

on all technical and commercial aspects of field

development planning including potential brownfield capital

investments.

Client Management SystemsOur Business Consultants will review clients management

systems for Projects and Investment decision making and

where necessary improve and develop new Management

Systems aligned to the business.

Business Structure and StrategyAssistance and counsel on the implementation of robust

protocols and procedures when moving into production

and related industry areas.

Health, Safety and EnvironmentThere is no second-best solution to safety – the health of

all upon whom a development impinges is of paramount

importance; and the environment is fleetingly in our

custody, to be handed on intact or enhanced. As

consultants we undertake major HAZID and HAZOP

studies and chair workshops, with subsequent monitoring

and resolution of issues raised, develop safety cases,

carry out QRA studies and prepare the safety and record

documentation.

We are also able to support EIA studies by preparing

scopes of work, reviewing proposals and overseeing the

selected consultant.

Value Improvement

The increase in value or functionality within a cost-

controlled environment is a far more useful business tool

than simply paring or lopping elements to meet a project

budget.

Facilities and Process Design

Whether for improvements on existing or development of

new facilities, thorough scheme development is crucial to

all aspects of business and value planning.

Reliability, Availability and Maintainability

Accurate assessment of these factors is a key component

in production, operational and life cycle costing.


The screening, feasibility and concept stage are vital tosuccessful capital investment in any development. Thelevel and detail of work we undertake is in accordancewith the structure of the Project Guideline system,ensuring consistency of approach and focussing on keyproject drivers whilst providing clear guidance to highermanagement.

Often a local presence will be vital in assisting indeveloping a good understanding of the constraints and bebeneficial in facilitating face-to-face discussions withrelevant authorities.

The teams will be experienced in the negotiation ofconsents, approvals and adoption agreements as well as inthe technical aspects of design within their disciplines.

Energy and Power quickly define projects, providing technical definition, accurate benchmarked costs and schedule, removing

commercial and technical risks.

CONCEPT ENGINEERING

Screening and Feasibility StudiesScreening and Feasibility Studies provide Capital

Investment advice based upon limited data, of whether it

is worth investing resources into trying to acquire acreage,

drill an exploration well or start an appraisal programme.

For some developments, no obvious analogy exists, and

novel areas need specific technical and/or cost studies

undertaken to reduce the uncertainty.

After gathering more information, possible development

concepts or Options can be postulated and compared.


Option Selection and Concept DesignDuring Optimisation Studies any and all features of the

Base Case can be reviewed increasing technical definition

and reducing risk. Options are usually developed to a level

of a costed equipment list with factored bulks to give a

development estimate. At this stage, budget prices should

be obtained for critical items, such as vessels or rig rates.

The selected Option from the Option Selection Report

stage can be refined and honed in Concept design to

provide improved accuracy and technical definition for a

planned development and along with economic analysis

and risk reviews to provide the basis for the

commencement of a FEED study.

Conceptual Engineering Studies Design ManagementThe Energy and Power Conceptual Engineering team is made up of process, and other facilities discipline

engineering consultants with project management input. The team can be located in client offices, to ensure

liaison with your subsurface groups.

Energy and Power will always ensure that our studies are oriented at the clients’ particular needs, scopes and

methods, which rarely remain the same between developments, even for the same client.

CONCEPT ENGINEERING


ENGINEERING

Engineering is at the very heart of our business, and our

principal resource is our Chartered Engineering staff. Our

approach is intellectually rigorous and enquiring so that we

develop optimum and elegant solutions, not a minimally

compliant response.

To reach that efficient optimum, we integrate engineering

design from the outset, continually refining that design during

each project stage. Thus, at each decision gateway, the

engineering definition contributes to the informed executive

sanction to proceed.

Process engineering is normally the foundation of many of our

projects, and we provide expertise in each of the many sub-

specialties, such as oil, gas, LNG and petro-chemicals.

Supplementing that often central skill, are electrical,

mechanical, controls, instrumentation, structural, health safety

and environmental and civil and marine engineers. Again,

each discipline has specialists in particular aspects – such as

rotating machinery, heat transfer, safety, reliability, power

generation, commissioning and the like.

Energy and Power provides engineering, project management

and consulting services to energy companies and is active in

the following sectors:

Power Generation

Oil and gas

Pipelines

LNG

DISCIPLINES APPLICATIONS DELIVERABLES

Energy and Power will take forwardthe conclusions from Concept studiesinto FEED stage Engineering.Production of PFDs and General andDetailed specifications will begenerated by a range of engineerschosen from Energy and Power’steam of Process, Mechanical,Electrical, Structural and Control &Instrument engineers.

Energy and Power will identify andapply the appropriate standards andcompliance requirements fromindustry standards including ISO,API, ASME,GOST, or Marine Codesfrom DNV, Lloyds, BV or ABS.

Energy and Power will understandand define the requirements andreflect in the project specifications.This will ensure that the operational,maintenance and safety aspects ofengineering meet projectexpectations.

Energy and Power have over 10 years ofexperience in Engineering multidiscipline projects.Projects include:

Production Facilities Process systems Balance of Plant Pump Stations Compressor Stations Power Units and ancillary equipment Structural integrity studies and designs

These projects apply to off shore fixed and floatingplatforms or onshore green or brown field sites.

Engineering applications also include theperformance investigation and upgradeengineering of existing or out dated equipment tomeet current operational demands (availability,productivity and reliability) and safety standards.

Energy and Power offer lifetime support to allaspects of installed assets to ensure that Ownersasset performance remains efficient andcompetitive.

Energy and Power will provide Drawings andSpecifications together with supporting datain electronic or hard copy format inaccordance with project requirements.

We are proud to have developed in-housesoftware such as our Cost-Weight-Space[CWS] model, which is a cost estimatingpackage, and Procuro, our procurementpackage. We use the hydraulic designpackage OLGA, and the pipe system designsoftware Pipesim, while other specialistsoftware is purchased on a project basisunder license. Other software packages heldby Energy and Power include: AspentechOne, AutoCAD, CADWorx, and SolidWorks.

FEED & Detailed Design

Energy and Power Engineering teams will prepare the Engineering specifications, scopes

of work, definition drawings and documents, using our Engineering systems design

packages, certified to ISO 9001.


Many of the oil developments in question are located in

remote territories, usually remote from any existing

infrastructure (towns, suitable roads, pipelines, power

grid…).

Energy and Power will start by assessing the most

appropriate location for the facility, which is not always

adjacent to the well site and we will initiate design and

planning for additional infrastructure outside of the facility

as well as the facility itself. This may include roads,

pipelines, storage tanks, process (separation) equipment,

export (tanker) loading facilities and control cabin, in

addition to perimeter fencing, power requirements,

lighting and security considerations.

Energy and Power will produce a multi-discipline basic

engineering package for the process facilities, tanker

loading facility and pipeline to enable procurement and

contracting activities to follow. The bid process and

evaluations will be undertaken by the Energy and Power

team on behalf of the client. We have experience in

undertaking engineering and project/procurement

management for the project and we can also manage the

award and subsequent co-ordination of the equipment

packages and facilities construction.

ENGINEERING SERVICES

GAS STORAGEStoring gas in depleted oil and gas fields or in salt caverns

allows suppliers to build stocks when demand is low, and

release them when demand and/or prices are higher.

Storage facilities give our Clients the opportunity to

maximise arbitrage capacities as they can regulate the

release of imported volumes into the market, and hence

preventing price falls in the wake of, say, a large shipment

of liquefied natural gas, or alternatively, allow more gas on

to the market to take advantage of price rises or to service

consumer requirements.

EARLY PRODUCTION FACILITIESEnergy and Power has provided design and support

services for a number of Early Production (or Extended

Well Test) Facilities, predominantly for onshore oil

discoveries. Early Production is usually key to the success

of onshore oil production: as well as proving the

availability of resources and the techniques employed to

extract the oil, it provides an opportunity to sell product

into the local market and generate early revenues.

Energy and Power design expertise will help maximise storage operational efficiency and

return on investment through our knowledge and experience of the process and

operational requirements.

Our ServiceOur process, compression and electrical consulting teams

ensure that the engineered solutions maximise storage

availability and turnaround. Once sanctioned we are

comfortable with engineering and owners engineer scopes,

incorporating (where appropriate) procurement

management, construction management and utility

connection arrangements.

ENGINEERING


PIPELINE SERVICES

Assess, evaluate and co-ordinate the technical, commercial and project management issues so that new pipeline infrastructure is

created cost effectively on time.

The creation of new pipelines is a complex affairinvolving many different parties with interests rangingfrom land ownership, public safety, environmentalimpact, project execution, technical integrity andcommercial viability. Energy and Power has the capabilityand experience to undertake these issues.

Pipeline ConceptualisationAs with all projects, true value is created during theinitial feasibility study phases. Energy and Power canhelp create this value in the early stages of pipelineprojects where we direct our initial effort on determiningthe market need, pipeline design, specification of pipeand components, route selection, environmentalassessments, permits and consents and where necessarypublic consultation and land acquisition.

Through this, and in combination with our pipelineexperience covering onshore and offshore pipelinesystems conveying natural gas, LPG, NGL, crude oil andoil products, we are able to offer a comprehensiveservice to evaluate their pipeline needs andrequirements.

Our engineers and managers direct their efforts to meetthe needs of producers and shippers in moving theirproduct to the marketplace with due regard to flowassurance, stress analysis, capacity and corrosionprotection and to create cost effective designs whichminimise the impact of construction projects on theenvironment and for onshore pipelines, the impact oncommunities and landowners.

Pipeline Project ManagementAs a pipeline project transitions through the phases ofdesign, procurement, construction, testing andcommissioning, Energy and Power can support clientsthrough the provision technical and project managementexpertise in all these areas.

Prior to construction Energy and Power initiatenegotiations, environmental permitting and all other pre-construction activities. We can also undertake theprocurement of long lead pipeline materials andequipment, the award of major pipeline construction andinstallation contracts and the overall projectmanagement of the pipeline project through tocompletion.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE


GASSI TOUIL GAS DEVELOPMENT & LNG PLANT

Energy and Power completed a two-part feasibility and concept engineering Project to review and refine the design for the Gassi Touil gas

facility in Algeria and associated LNG terminal at the coast.The work involved evaluation of the gas field, development of processing options,

option selection and full CAPEX OPEX and execution plan development for the selected option.

The Gassi Touil fields reserves were estimated at 4.8Tcf (trillion cubic feet) wet gas-yielding 4.4Tcf dry gas, 76 million barrels of liquefied

petroleum gas (LPG), and 73 million barrels of condensate. The concept developed was for two production centres to maintain a plateau for

feed gas to the LNG plant for its economic life. Pipeline gas, stabilised condensate and mixed LPG will be exported into transmission lines local

to the facilities. The gas export rate will be equivalent to the LNG off-take from Arzew.

The LNG development at Arzew is a new LNG plant next to the existing Bethioua LNG plants, export will be via an export route to an existing

pier in the Bethioua port that will be modified for LNG loading. It will produce 4 million tonnes per annum of LNG (180 trillion BTU) and

approximately 190 barrels/day condensate, 1400 barrels/day butane and 7300 barrels/day propane.

This work addressed the technical feasibility addressed the overall project, the CAPEX summaries for each project, the overall execution plan

considerations together with a summary of the projects with a risk review and status check against the Energy and Power feasibility tollgate.

The work undertaken included development of screening estimates, development schedules Basis of Design, Site Visit at Gassi Touil and

Arzew, Cost Estimates, Technical Reviews, HSE studies and Risk Reviews. Full descriptions of the upstream and LNG processes were provided

and outline execution plans.

TULLOW JUBILIEE FIELD DEVELOPMENT

The Jubilee project lies off the coast of Ghana and potentially represents one of the largest offshore oil discoveries in recent history. The field

is in water depth ranging from 900m to 1700m and will be developed via manifold subsea wells and FPSO production systems.

Energy and Power has been appointed by the Technical Banks group to undertake a review of the project and to provide a Due Diligence

function in support of a multi-billion dollar finance package.

Our role has included a Technical and Project Management review of the proposals for the deep water oil development. The facilities comprise

turret moored FPSO, remote drilling, subsea manifolds, flowlines and risers.

We have provided an independent assessment of overall facilities cost and implementation schedule, together with a review of the project

management, contracts and procurement management and the implementation by the incumbent project team.
